Police bill Gay Pride festival $36,000
Bill Myers, The Examiner Aug 23, 2007 2:00 AM (831 days ago)WASHINGTON The District of Columbia police department’s decision to slap a $36,000 bill on a gay festival has raised eyebrows on the District Council. D.C. police and the Emergency Management Agency said they need the money to pay for the overtime and other costs for security on the June Gay Pride parade and festival. Phil Mendelson, D-at large, has written a pair of letters challenging the bill — in part because the agencies waived fees last year and because the department did not charge fees for the annual Eastern Market Day parade this year.
